Anthony Mastroianni, LCSW

Anthony Mastroianni is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship conflict, parenting strain, and issues like bipolar disorder or depression. He also addresses jealousy-related concerns within relationships. His style is straightforward and collaborative, focused on practical steps people can use day to day.

Anthony's early work was at a university-affiliated psychiatric research institute, where he focused on treatments for substance dependence and mood disorders. He later concentrated on family interventions and worked with highly conflicted couples and people who used aggression in relationships. That background shaped his work with codependency, family-of-origin issues, and domestic violence concerns.

He uses a mix of individual and group methods, drawing from client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, existential, and mindfulness approaches. Sessions tend to focus on identifying goals, practicing new skills, and finding workable choices that fit a person’s life. He values cultural differences and has worked in rural, urban, and island communities.

Anthony has experience with active duty personnel and military veterans and with people coping after substance dependence. He emphasizes personal accountability and the client’s role in change. The work is collaborative: goals are shaped together and progress is measured by practical changes in daily life.

He is licensed in Pennsylvania as an LCSW and offers services in English. For people concerned about relationships, addiction, mood, or trauma, he aims to help them build usable skills and clearer choices.

How approach and online work come together

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers. It’s about understanding where someone is coming from and supporting their choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them, often used for anxiety, depression, and addiction. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with intense emotions and relationship conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying CBT tools for worry, using DBT skills for anger and relationships, or keeping a client-centered focus to clarify values and choices.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats use less bandwidth or don’t require video, which can help on hectic days. Licensed professionals typically adapt exercises, between-session work, and skill practice so they work well in remote sessions as well as in person.
